No one knows just how powerful Colonel Asher Brooks is. It's a secret he's fond of keeping. As point person for the Immortal Ops, he has seen just about everything the supernatural community has to offer. That is,until he arrives on the docks in Seattle to find a mess his men didn't make. Something big is going down there and it means business. His concern is for Jinx, a leggy redheaded succubus who calls the area home. He's spent centuries denying what he knows to be true, thinking he's keeping his woman safe and that it's for the best.

When Jinx calls to tell him she has information for him, he worries the woman who drives him mad with lust might be in danger. He'll do anything to protect her, even if that means claiming her for his own, whether she's up for being claimed or not.

From the Author

To the "fans" of my Immortal Ops Series World: Thank you for your continued support over the past twelve years for the series. I'm honestly having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that the first book in the series was published in 2004.

Another book by Mandy M Roth that I absolutely love.Just how powerful Colonel Asher Brooks is. It's a secret he's fond of keeping. He is the point person for the Immortal OPS and has seen everything that could be seen. Now as he arrives at the docks in Seattle he is seeing things that are big and who ever is behind it means business.His biggest concern now is for Jinx, a leggy redheaded succubus who calls the area home. He's spent centuries denying what he knows to be true, thinking he's keeping his woman safe and that it's for the best.But when Jinx calls him to let him know she has information for him, makes him worry about her and that she drives him mad with lust oh well its something he will have to deal with.And maybe this time he gets to keep her rather then giving her up like he did centuries ago.

As the boss of Immortal Ops Asher Brooks is used to playing things close to his chest. He is not human as the team believes and has lived for a very, very, very long time. Jinx is his mate and he has known this for some time but anxieties over turning out like his father has made him keep her at arms length.

Jinx runs the brothel for Immortals and as a succubus her powers in the bedroom are unmatched. She is asked to keep an ear out for information for Asher and this leads her and her employees into trouble.

This book was a little disjointed as I felt it didn't flow as well from the previous book. I also was still left a bit in the dark as to what Asher really is. I felt more time could have been devoted to Asher and Jinx back story. It was still a great story but it could have been a bit fuller. There were a wee couple of spelling mistakes in my copy, which may have been edited out by now.

The team banter is again fantastic and Duke and Roi are totally nuts!!! Am refusing to let this wee dip in storytelling put me off and am off to open the next book.

Jeneathra Isis Nevania Xenia or as we who read the immortal ops story have been calling her Jinx the succubus.Colonel Asher Brooks is the chief of operations of the immortal ops.This story takes place right after the last book in the series timeline but I think it can be read without the others to make sense. I have no trouble following along and have not read all of the books or in the order they were written. ☺This part of the series we find out Jinx's has know Asher over a 1000 years and he has kept her at arms length the whole time and yet helped her. Can't say more on it without giving the story away and messing it up but I will say I wouldn't have forgive Asher as she had at least not that fast lolWe got to see some of the ops team in action in a bar fight and heard of them joking around. That is best part of the story for me anyway but this time Miss Roth only touched on it lightly and gave us more information on the series. All in all I highly enjoyed the book and it made for a great evening. I can't wait to read more of the series and would highly recommend them to anyone who loves paranormal action romance. Shifters, magic, bad guys and romance. How can ya go wrong! Love it.

Up until now I have let the need to be entertained to review this author. Sometimes it is nice to just chill out and ignore the signs. She does entertain but with a lot of faults which this time just got too much. This was so bad. One thousand years without sex then two pages later he talks about having bedded? Really? I like imaginary worlds but give us a break! Keep your story line consistent and making sense. I wanted my money back on this one.Writing good reviews is nice but it also means the author doesn't get better and that isn't fair to them.

I would like to give the book higher rating but, it is just too short and I want more of the story. Yes, I realize it is mostly a romance but, I think the author has a great story going here. I truly love the story and the way she writes the team and their closeness. Reminds me of The Blackdagger Brotherhood. Please write a longer story and get to the heart of it, the suspense is killing me.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review and as always like all the other books I enjoyed this one too. It let's you know more about Asher and how him and Jinx are mates, and he knew about it the whole time. Obviously as always the book is full of action just like all the other books. And Asher has always been a mystery and this just lets you know a little more about him, along with the relationship he has with Jinx.I can't wait to read more into the series

This series is a must read for PNR fans. You get so much action and romance in this book to make anyone happy. Asher is an enigma until Jinx is threatened. Loved the different spin on the fall of Pompeii. Highly recommend this one!!

These stories are so fascinating that you cannot wait to read the next book so you will know the rest of the story. I hate teasers or when you don’t the entire secret but know it is necessary to the story line.
